We just returned from an unforgettable stay at Bosque del Cabo and can't recommend it highly enough. Nestled in the lush rainforest of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, this nature lodge is a dream come true for anyone who loves wildlife, adventure, and tranquility. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by wildlife—monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, coatis, and so much more There was no shortage of adventure. We hiked through lush rainforest trails, surfed on beautiful nearby beaches, and even rode horses along the shoreline - an absolutely magical experience. Each activity was well-organized and made it easy to enjoy the beauty of the Osa Peninsula. The food was also a major highlight. Every meal was fresh, creative, and delicious, served with a personal touch that made us feel right at home. The lodge itself is rustic luxury—comfortable, clean, and perfectly in tune with its surroundings. The staff at Bosque del Cabo made our stay extra special. They were warm, welcoming, and full of knowledge about the local ecosystem. I highly recommend both the night tour and nature walk with Carlos! Their passion for conservation and hospitality really shines through in everything they do. If you're looking for an off-the-beaten-path destination with amazing wildlife, outdoor adventures, and great food, Bosque del Cabo is the place. We left feeling relaxed, inspired, and already planning our return. Highly recommended!

Most gorgeous place I’ve visited!! The most amazing staff and people there and the environment is so welcoming and fun. Definitely stayed busy with a lot of activities but also would chill at the bar around 6 before dinner with all of the other guest and that was so fun! Can’t wait to come back !

My husband and I just got back from our friends wedding at Bosque del Cabo and it was amazing! Not only did the staff greet you right away (they remembered our names throughout the entire stay which was impressive haha). The cabanas seem to be all different which was awesome, and you feel like your in the heart of the rainforest with so much wild like around you. You wouldn't think you would get good sleep, but man did we have the best sleep ever with it so dark and peaceful at night. My husband and his friend went fishing the next day which was a blast, and caught some red snapper in which the staff cooked it up for lunch that day. They truly have some great chefs onsite. Our friends had their wedding reception there and they were so accommodating for the wedding group, and also respectful of the other guests staying there as well. It was very well managed and executed. A lot of us got massages which was so peaceful, and we also went on the catamaran for 12 guests which I highly recommend. Bosque took care of our lunches and transportation, and booking it with the captain. We were gone all day and it was surreal...our boat was in the ocean with about 200-300 dolphins, then snorkelling in the beautiful teal green/blue water, and listening to music and sailing was just perfection. All in all, we had the best time with all our friends, and whether you go with friends, kids or family, there is something to do for everyone. I would give this place a 20 out of 10 if I could as the owners (Kim and Phillip) are great to work with, staff are so friendly. You are truly in the rainforest and it forces you to put down your phones/computers and really enjoy the true beauty that mother nature has to offer! Best, Samantha & Ramon Pradera

It's hard to say anything that hasn't already been said in all the rave reviews on Tripadvisor. I've been coming to Costa Rica for almost 30 years now, since studying abroad back in the '90s, and I was skeptical that this place could live up to the hype. But it did, and then some. What really distinguishes Bosque del Cabo is the location and the people. The wildlife viewing opportunities on the hotel property are like none we've ever experienced. We saws monkeys (howler, capuchin, and spider), coatimundis, peccaries, agouti, snakes, bats, poison dart frogs, macaws, toucans, an anteater, and much more. To top it off, on our last morning we saw a puma out in the open on our way back to Casa Coco. Amazing! If you want to see wildlife, this is the place to go. Aside from the setting, the owners have created a really special guest experience because of the amazing staff. Without doubt, the people behind Bosque del Cabo are what make this place so special. From the owners to each and every staff member, the hospitality was amazing. It's hard to describe, but you'll understand when you visit. The vibe is pura vida at its finest. In terms of activities, there are plenty to chose from. We did a guided hike with Carlos on our first morning, which allows you to see all the hidden wildlife that you might miss and get a lay of the land. We also did the catamaran tour of the Gulfo Dulce--we saw hundreds of dolphins and the captain (Cali) was awesome. The rest of the time we hiked in the mornings in later afternoons, rested by the private pool in between, and enjoyed great dinners at the main lodge in the evenings. It's easy to understand why BdC has so many return visitors. It really is an exceptional place.

We absolutely LOVE Bosque Del Cabo. We travel a lot, both in Costa Rica and worldwide, and honestly this is one of our favorite eco-lodges in the whole world. It is the perfect combination of elegance and rainforest. The grounds and trails are teeming with animals. We saw three species of monkeys (howler, spider and capuchin), toucans, macaws, coatis and even a sloth. Our bungalow had the most gorgeous ocean view - it was absolute paradise! The food was not only gourmet but also healthy and organic. And the staff is super friendly. We will be back for sure!

I have been to Osa on various occasions and this is now my favorite jungle lodge. Tastefully designed with comfort in mind, while keeping the jungle experience authentic. The food is the best in the area. The service was impeccable, the staff set the example of the Pura vida warmth. We stayed in Casa Miramar, it had extraordinary ocean views and lots of areas to relax in. The house was perfect for 2 families. The pool was the right size; framed by the view of the jungle and ocean. Our group had kids with a wide range of ages 2-11 the kids were safe at all times and enjoyed the food and overall experience. The horsebackriding was lots of fun, even the two year old rode with me, the canopy tour was a hit! I would highly recommend this hotel.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The staff is incredible, the food is superb especially for a remote location. All of the staff was extremely helpful with all the excursions me and my friends wanted to do and they knocked them all out of the park. We will be returning year after year.

This is a very special place. If you love nature, birds, wildlife and beautiful surroundings we highly recommend Bosque Del Cabo. The staff are knowledgeable and very accommodating - we felt like they were family. The hiking trails are plentiful and we hiked every day. We saw so many birds and wildlife that there are too many to name. Any of the adventures we did with Carlos were amazing. The food was terrific, the bar was a fun spot to hit for a cocktail before dinner. The highlight for us was watching all of the birds and wildlife right from the deck of our cabana. I can't recommend Bosque enough! Keep up the terrific work Bosque del Cabo!!!
